The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has officially released the results of the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for school candidates across Nigeria.
The examination body announced the development on Wednesday through its official X (formerly Twitter) account, urging candidates to generate their Personal Identification Number (PIN) before checking their results on the WAEC result portal.
According to WAEC, 1,200,514 candidates, representing 61.54 per cent of the 1,950,726 students who sat for the examination, obtained credits in at least five subjects, including English Language and Mathematics.
Candidates are required to first generate a PIN and serial number through the WAEC portal before proceeding to
the result-checking website. They will also need to provide their examination number, National Identification Number (NIN) used during registration, and complete the One-Time Password (OTP) verification process.The 2026 WASSCE for school candidates was conducted between 21 April and 19 June 2026, with nearly 1.96 million candidates participating from over 24,200 secondary schools nationwide.
WAEC noted that while the majority of candidates wrote the examination using the traditional paper-and-pencil method, more schools adopted the Computer-Based Testing (CBT) option compared with previous years.
The council had earlier indicated that the results would be released approximately 45 days after the conclusion of the examination.
Candidates are advised to visit the official WAEC portals to generate their PINs and access their results.
